Abstract excerpt
17 alpha-Hydroxylase deficiency is characterized by defects in either or both of the 17 alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase activities. We have elucidated the molecular basis of the combined deficiency of these activities in a Japanese female who is genotypically male and the child of a consanguineous marriage. The complete exonic sequence of the patient's CYP17 (P45017 alpha) gene revealed a seven-basepair duplication...
